[Chapter 2101 Tie Kui Fanwai (25)]
Duan Xiaodong got up at dawn and went to work in the fields with a hoe on his back. Tie Hu stopped him and didn’t let him go. He picked up the bucket again to fetch water.
When he came back, he had to chop wood again.
Seeing this, Tie Kui, who came back from the morning run, stopped him and said, “Brother-in-law, just leave this work for me to do. You are newly married, so take a rest for two days!”
Duan Xiaodong said with a smile: “These activities are not tiring. Kuizi, keep practicing!”
Chun Ni walked out of the room and said with a smile, “Kuizi, let him do it! If you don’t let him do it, he will sit in the room in a daze.” After Tie Kui left, her husband did all the work!
The breakfast is thick porridge and wowotou, with two bowls of meat and vegetables, which are all leftovers from yesterday.
The weather hasn’t gotten cold yet, and the dishes won’t last long. A few were left, and most were given away.
Seeing that Duan Xiaodong had eaten two wowo and a bowl of porridge, he put down his chopsticks. Chunni said, “If you’re not full, how will you work?” After that, she gave him another bowl of porridge and stuffed it into his hand. a bun.
Tie Kui smiled and said, “Brother-in-law, we are a family, we don’t need to be restrained.”
Tie Hu hummed: “Dongzi, this is your own home, there is no reason to not have enough food in your own home.”
Duan Xiaodong hummed: “I see.”
After eating, Duan Xiaodong will go to work in the field. Chunni said, “I won’t be working today, and I will return the borrowed things with me.” Most of the dishes and tableware were borrowed. Tie Hu and Tie Kui had things to do, so it was just right for Duan Xiaodong to go with him. In this way, the door can also be recognized.
“good.”
Tie Kui took a rest, then went up the mountain with the bow and arrow on his back.
Seeing the look of envy in Duan Xiaodong’s eyes, Chun Ni said, “It’s too dangerous to go hunting in the mountains. My father’s leg was injured while hunting.” Kui Zi couldn’t stop her, but she definitely wouldn’t let Duan Xiaodong go hunting.
Duan Xiaodong said: “Kuidi is so talented when he is so young, I am far worse than him.” Not only can he hunt to supplement his family, but he can also make money by copying books.
Chunni said: “Comparing with him, I have the ability, but the idea is also very big. Forget it, let’s not talk about him. Pick up these steamers and return them to Aunt Wang’s house.”
On the third day of the wedding, the couple went to work in the field. With Duan Xiaodong, Chunni felt much more relaxed.
In early July, Tie Kui went to the county seat. When he got home, he and Duan Xiaodong said, “Second brother-in-law, Mrs. Liu said that your second brother is married.”
Duan Xiaodong was shocked: “My second brother is married? When did it happen?”
“It seems to be at the end of last month! I don’t know the specifics, second brother-in-law, why don’t you bring the second sister home to see!” You don’t tell me about such a big thing as marriage, I’m afraid there is something inside.
No matter what the reason is, as soon as you know it, you will definitely have to go. Chunni asked, “Dongzi, what kind of gift do you think we should give?”
Duan Xiaodong was silent for a while and said, “Don’t spend money to buy things, just send a bag of grain as a gift.” The family is poor and they rely on buying food. Therefore, it is the most affordable to send food.
There was still half a room of food in the house, so Chunni readily agreed: “Then give me two bags of food as a gift!”
After dinner, Tie Hu called the couple into his room, then took out a wooden box placed under the pillow and opened it for the two of them to see.
Tie Hu said: “There are still thirty-nine taels of silver left in the family. You will be in charge from now on, and this money will be kept for you.”
Duan Xiaodong has lived for 18 years, and this is the first time he sees so much money, and he can’t bear to blink.
Their family spent more than 800 taels of silver to treat the iron tiger’s legs. So seeing the silver, Chun Ni was still very calm: “Dad, I thought our family had run out of money.”
“Money is not forbidden, save some money.” After speaking, he gave the money box to Chunni.
Chun Ni didn’t shirk, and took it over quickly: “Dad, you should rest early!”
Back at the house, Chun Ni asked, “Would you like us to send some money to your second brother as a gift?” If you have money, you have confidence.
Duan Xiaodong shook his head and said, “No, two bags of food are enough.”
That being said, Chun Ni still picked up twenty eggs and brought them with her the next day. Two bags of grain and twenty eggs, this gift is not too thin.
Before dawn, the couple set off. It was not until the next afternoon that the couple returned.
Knowing that Duan Ershun was really married, Tie Hu said, “Your second brother got married, why didn’t you know how to hear from you?” The two brothers had such a good relationship, Duan Ershun didn’t say anything, for fear that there would be something strange about the marriage.
Duan Xiaodong didn’t know what to say.
Chun Ni changed the subject and said, “Dad, we didn’t eat lunch this afternoon, what else is there to eat in the kitchen?”
“The rice is gone, and the vegetables still have pork liver soup and eggplant. You make some gnocchi and eat it with the vegetables!”
After eating, Chun Ni called Duan Xiaodong to go out to fetch water, and then said to Tie Hu: “Father, his second brother gave his second sister-in-law a bag of grain and brought his second sister-in-law home. His second brother said he didn’t want us If you spend money, no one will send a message.” If you know the news, you have to give a gift, after all, it is the son-in-law who came to the door, and Duan Ershun didn’t want to make it difficult for Duan Xiaodong.
Tie Hu thought of Duan Ershun, who was also taciturn, and said, “Just marry a wife.”
Chun Ni opened the chat box and told everything she knew: “His second sister-in-law’s younger brother is five years younger than her, and his parents kept her for fear that no one would work. When his brother is an adult, she will Become an old girl. She didn’t want to be a stepmother, so she wasted until she was twenty.” Xin’s temperament is relatively strong, and she is reluctant to marry a widower. Her parents were so anxious that she said that instead of marrying a widower to be her stepmother or being tortured to death, she might as well be hanged with a rope, at least not guilty. Because of this, her parents did not dare to force her to marry.
As soon as Duan Ershun’s soil embryo house was built, a woman in the village helped to pull the line. Xin met Duan Ershun, even if he was poor, he agreed. His parents wished that he would marry quickly to save his son’s marriage, and asked Duan Ershun to take her home after asking for a bag of food.
“This is really a father and mother…”
Chun Ni smiled and said, “This second sister-in-law is very diligent and has a good temperament.” It’s just that people don’t look good. But it’s normal to think about it. If you look good, even if you are older, you will come to the door to propose a marriage, so you won’t be wasted until you are 20 years old.
Tie Hu said with a smile: “If we get along well, we will move around more in the future.”
He asked Chunni to recruit her husband because he wanted someone to take care of him, not to pass on incense. So it’s okay for the son-in-law to be close to the family.
Chun Ni sighed and sighed again: “They have no fields and no land, so it’s not easy to live. Dad, anyway, we have to invite people every year when we harvest grain. I think we will invite people when the time comes. Brother Dongzi and the others are here to help.”
This time, Chunni and his wife sent two bags of food, and Xin was overjoyed. Such two large bags of grain, mixed with wild vegetables, are enough for their husband and wife to eat for three or four months.
Tie Hu smiled and said: “You and Dongzi will be the masters of this family in the future. You can make up your own mind on these matters, don’t ask me.”
“Okay.” More and more I realized the benefits of recruiting a son-in-law. She doesn’t have to worry about the incompatibility between her mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law, nor does she worry about making a living. She makes up her mind about everything at home. Have a comfortable day.
When it was time for the autumn harvest, Chunni didn’t need to ask for it, Duan Erge and Xin Shi came to help.
The autumn harvest had to catch up with the weather, and even Tie Kui, who usually did not go to the ground, went to help. There are six people in Rao, and the whole family is exhausted when the food is collected.
After the food was collected, Duan Erge and his wife went back. Give money, hurt feelings. Chunni gave two bags of food. In addition, there are also a lot of mushrooms and other items.
When he was leaving, Duan Erge said, “Adi, the people of the Tie family are kind, and you should also treat your younger siblings well.” Son-in-laws who come to the house usually have no status. But in the Tie family for more than ten days, he found that Tie Hu and Tie Kui treated his younger brother as a family member, and did not take it lightly.
Duan Dongzi smiled and said, “Second brother, don’t worry, I depend on her in everything.” The longer they get along, the more he likes Chunni. Not only does she have a dashing temperament, but she is also generous.
“That’s good.”
On the way back, Mrs Xin said with an envious look: “The Tie family has had a really good life, and they are almost catching up with the landlord’s house.” The three meals a day are dry meals with meat every day, and then there is big bone soup. Or drink egg soup.
Duan Ershun said, “If you don’t eat better during the busy farming season, your body won’t be able to endure it.” In fact, Duan Dongzi told him in private that the Tie family’s usual food is not worse than it is now. The same is true, Duan Dongzi looks much better now than before. However, he would not have said this to Mrs. Xin.
Xin Shi thought about it, and this is indeed the truth.
After harvesting the grain, it is time to pay the grain tax. The Tie family paid half of the grain and paid the other half with money. This is also because I am afraid that there will be a famine in the coming year, so I develop the habit of hoarding food.
As soon as the autumn harvest was over, the imperial court came to recruit troops. At this time, every household is shrouded in dark clouds. The Iron Tiger family is no exception.
Chun Ni said with red eyes: “Kuizi, can you please not go?” Although she knew in advance, she was still very sad when it happened.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, “Second sister, I have to go.” For this day, he has not let up a single day in the past ten years.
When the village chief reported the list, the people in the village knew that Tie Kui was also going to join the army.
Father Li, who hadn’t come to the door for a long time, came and asked, “Huzi, I heard that Kuizi of your family is going to be a soldier? Huzi, is this not true?”
The matter of Li Gui made Father Li seriously ill. It was Tie Kui who told him that if he passed away, his two grandsons would definitely be led astray by their parents. For the sake of his grandson, Father Li insisted on coming over. Then he clenched the money in his hand and devoted himself to teaching his two grandchildren.
Tie Hu nodded and said: “He feels that hunting and farming at home is useless, and he wants to make a career. As a father, how can I stop him from running forward.”
If Tie Kui is his own son, even if he breaks his leg, he will not be allowed to join the army. It is better to be a disabled person than to have no bones left in the future. Unfortunately, Tie Kui is not his son. Moreover, he didn’t have the confidence to keep Tie Kui at home.
Hearing this, Father Li sighed deeply: “Children are all debts!” His son listened to his daughter-in-law in everything and was worried. Kui Zi’s ability is great, but also makes people worry.
Duan Xiaodong saw Tiehu’s calm expression, and asked Chunni, “Did Dad know Kuizi was going to be a soldier early on, so he asked you to recruit a son-in-law.” As for Tiehu, he asked his daughter to recruit a son-in-law when he said that his son was going out for a job. This statement is not convincing. But if Tie Kui was going to be a soldier, it would be different. It would be good if one of the ten soldiers who went to be a soldier could come back. It makes sense that Tiehu wants to recruit his son-in-law for retirement.
“You can comfort your father.” Now that the list has been confirmed, it is meaningless to say anything else.
Chunxiang got the news and ran back to her parents’ house regardless of her big belly. As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed Chun Ni and asked, “I heard that Kui Zi is going to be a soldier, is this true?”
Chun Ni pulled Chun Xiang into the room, and said in a voice that only the two sisters could hear: “Eldest sister, Kui Zi said that he would make a contribution to avenge his dead parents.”
Because Tie Kui has been so kind to them all these years, Chunxiang has forgotten that Tie Kui is not his brother.
Chunni continued to whisper: “Kuizi’s enemy should be someone who is very powerful. Big sister, don’t tell anyone that Kuizi is not our brother, not even my brother-in-law. One more person who knows about Kuizi will be one more. Dangerous.”
Chunxiang wiped her tears and said, “Big sister, Kuizi is our younger brother.” There are few younger brothers who can compare to Tie Kui.
By the time she got out of the house, Chunxiang had calmed down.
Shao Lili thought it was amazing. When he came, his wife looked like the sky was falling, and he didn’t know what the sister-in-law said to comfort his wife so quickly.
Chunxiang said: “Xianggong, you go back first! I’ll go home after Kui Zi is gone.” Tie Kui will be leaving in five days, and she wants to stay and help.
“Okay, I’ll come back in four days.” First, to see off my brother-in-law, and second to pick up Chunxiang.
Two days later, the two sisters were making clothes for Tie Kui in the house. Hearing a loud knock on the door, Chunni put down her needle and went out.
Chun Ni opened the door, and saw a thin and scrawny old lady in her fifties standing outside the door, she asked in confusion, “Who are you?”
Hearing her words, the woman scolded: “I knew you were heartless, that’s true.” Otherwise, she wouldn’t even recognize her own mother. ”
Glancing at Jin Shi, Chun Ni closed the door without saying a word.
Chunxiang heard Jin’s voice and walked out of the house: “Chunni, why don’t you let your mother in?”
“Why let her come in? So that she can scold me in the nose?” After speaking, Chun Ni said, “Eldest sister, she doesn’t want us for the Jin family, so she still misses her.” Since the Jin family was divorced, Chun Ni said. I feel more comfortable. So, she really didn’t want to see Jin at all.
Chunxiang said with a bitter face, “It’s not a problem to keep her scolding at the door of the house!” Although she couldn’t bear it, she was also measured. This home, now Chunni is in charge.
Chunni said, “Don’t be careful, Dad will be back soon.”
Iron Tiger got the news and came back. Several hundred meters away from home, I heard Jin’s sharp cursing.
Many people say that it is not good to have no wife in the family, but Tiehu feels that he is very comfortable without the Jin family in his family. There is always laughter in the house.
Seeing Tiehu, Mrs. Jin felt terrified, but after thinking about the news she had gathered up the courage to ask, “Why do you want Kuizi to die?” For Mrs. Jin, going to be a soldier means going send to death.
Tie Hu said with a cold face: “This is my Tie family’s business, and it has nothing to do with you. Get out of here quickly.”
Sitting on the ground, Mrs. Jin cried loudly: “My son, my mother worked so hard to give birth to you in October, but I didn’t expect your heartless father to send you to death…”
Tie Hu slapped over and slapped Jin’s eyes with golden flowers: “If you don’t get me out, I’ll slap you to death.”
Jin got up and ran away quickly.
Tie Kui knew this, sighed and said nothing. For Jin, he completely let go.
